With the Unified controllers, the APs which come online will dynamically get their configuration from the controller when they establish the LWAPP tunnel.

When AP based feature are configured, such as AP provisioning or AP-based user authentication (de-central authentication), it can be useful to understand and see what is going on on the AP. The APs have a console port, but this console port cannot be used once the AP has established the LWAPP tunnel.

This post shows how the administrator can enable console and telnet access to the AP.

Default behavior

By default, when the AP has the LWAPP tunnel open, and you attempt to open the console connection of the AP, it will just show the interface is available:

One Response to Unified wireless : AP console/telnet access

Dear Peter,
I don’t know where to post my comment so i put it here about low power of Outdoor MSM 466R.
We have MSM466-R (J9716A) combine with two external antennas : 6dBi 2.4GHz (J9719A) that is connected to radio 2 and 8dBi 5Ghz (J9720A) that is connected to radio 1. It’s managed by HP Unified 830 (JG640A) – firmware “Software Version Release 3507P26”

Senario is :
AP position is 10 meters high. I use Wifi Analyzer software and Nexus 5 mobile phone for testing its power level. At 20 meters distance, the power level is from -65dBm to -75 dBm. This value seems low 😦 , then antenna seem does not work

In HP830 (JG640A) : i select type of antenna for AP on Radio –> Antenna Switch. I also set antenna gain for AP by cli command to 6 for 2.4Ghz and 8 for 5Ghz.

Is there any other requirement configuration in HP830 to make the external antenna work ?
